Need to use your phone while filming? Our app Float Cam keeps a floating camera window on screen so you can record videos while doing anything else.
The problem
The standard camera app locks your whole screen. Reading a script, checking notes, or browsing while recording is impossible. Been there, done that.
That's why we developed Float Cam - a floating camera window you can move, resize, and position anywhere on your screen while it records.
Perfect for creators, vloggers, students, or anyone reading a script while filming.
